Although cannibalism is reported by
missionaries to- have died out among
the islands in the south seas it is far
more common than is generally
imagined. In New Ireland saw big
fight between two villages, and after
the battle the bodies of those who had
fallen were eaten. The bodies after
being scalded in hot water are scraped
with bamboo knife by old women.
An old man cuts up the bodies, taking
care to keep the thigh and shin bones,
which are used for spear heads. After
being wrapped in stout leaves, the dis
membered cadavers are placed in ovens
dug in the ground and in four days
are ready for eating. The natives make
no concealment of their disgusting
meal and during the feast they held wild
dancing and orgies. The preparation
of sago, cocoanut, and human brains
is called saksak and is in great demand
among the women. The females
seemed to be more brutal and savage
than the men during this cannibal
banquet. San Francisco Chronicle.

Fancy Umbrella Covers.

Every women will say that an UNI
brella cover is ''horried nuisance" if
she says anything about it, and she is
very likely to. Yet it Is all but a
necessity. None but an expert can roll
an umbrella so that it looks neat without
q cover, and silk umbrella proves a
very frail thing indeed unless it is kept
incascd. On the other hand, when
occasion arises to raise the umbrella,
what to do with the cover is very
puzzling question to lady. A man
can stuff it in his pocket, but dress
makers don't allow pockets nowadays.
1t must be carried some way, and SO
necessity in this case has proved to be
the mother of fashion as well as of in
vention. When the Fifth-avenue girls
put up their umbrellas they tie the
covers in pretty brown bows about the
handles, and thus easily dispense with
the nuisance. To carry an umbrella
without knot is all dead wrong just
now. The fashion has led to the
adoption of gayly-colored covers even
with plain black umbrellas. York

Selling a Corner Lot.

Young Hazard was the happy
possessor of corner lot and the un-
happy possessor of an empty purse,
with payment on said corner lot
staring him in the face, which he must
meet or lose the lot. The one escape
was In making an immediate sale of
the lot, and in this task young Mrs.
Hazard came to the rescue. She
arrayed herself in former theatrical
outfit, completely disguised her
identity, and called on wealthy
real-estate dealer, who had the refusal
OF the property at $50 foot, the top
market price. She stated that she
understood he was the owner of the
lot, and that since she had taken a
fancy to the location and desired to
build n handsome home Immediately,
she would give him SO foot for the
same. 4,t F
The sauve "dirt dealer" informed
her that the lot was his and that if she
would call around on the morrow
they would complete the bargain,
chivalrously not requiring any deposit
to bind the refusal. He then hurried
around to young Hazard to tell him
he would take the property, but found
it had advanced in price to $50 per
foot, which he reluctantly paid and
got deed. In vain he waited and is
still awaiting the appearance of the
wealthy young widow that the lady
herself to be, and still he
holds the corner lot, while the stake
young Hazard made has been wisely
invested, and promises to bring him an
ample fortune. This is not fancy

A Golden Wedding.

The monotony Of life is not often
varied by the occurrence of golden
wedding. 1t is. indeed, rare that one
Is celebrated, and when one is, it is
attractive from its novelty, if fer no
other or better reason: and yet. is it
not pleasing 10 think that amid the
changes SO constantly occurring, the
uncertainties attending the life work
OF the strongest among us, that now
and then we meet couple who, in
sickness and in health, in Joy and in
sorrow, with the affections of youth
unchanged, have ter half century
Of their mature lives, been as one.
To US it is certainly not only pleas
ing, but instructive, and teaches with
all the force of precept and example
the beauties and blessings of a home
where love sits enthroned. Such a
more than golden anniversary it was
the good fortune of the writer to at
tend on Monday evening, the s3d
ult., at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Follensbee, in the city of Port
Huron, where about sixty of their
personal friends assembled to extend
congratulations and leave tokens OF
remembrance. The party was a
genial one, most OF the guests being
long time personal friends of each
other as well as of the bride and
groom. An exceedingly impressive
and appropriate address was delivered
by Rev. w. J. Campbell of the NJ.
E. church, in which he reviewed the
changing scenes in the lives Of Mr..
and Mrs. Follensbee, and feelingly
referred 10 the six children who have
passed on before leaving only son
and daughter 10 be the comfort of
their declining years, but fortunately
they are son and daughter OF whom
any parents might well be proud.
The presents were numerous, appro-
pirate and valuable, both for their
financial value and as mementoes of
an enduring friendship.
To the writer the occasion YVES of
more than ordinary interest as he
recalled the fact, that fifty years be-
fore a toddling boy, with his father
and mother, long since gone to join
the majority on the happier shore, he
went to bid the newly married couple
ga God speed" as they left their New
Hampshire home and friends for the
then almost trackless forests of the
territory ct Michigan. Twenty years
later we, also, made for ourself a
home in this then prosperous State
now almost an empire in culture,
wealth and political power-a home
which to us has been, as has been
that of the cousins whose golden
wedding we joined in celebrating,
all that the word home implies. And
we can only add, that the best wish
we can express for these friends is
that the remaining years of life may
be, as the past fifty have been, filed
with the joys of a union based on
perfect confidence and enduring love.

The Gettysburg Reunion.
PICKETT's DIVISION ASSOCIATION,
RICHMOND. VA. Nav 81 1887

Col. Herbert Alexandria, Va:
Dear Comrade: A member of our division, has
been writing articles for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
making it appear that the proposed reunion had
for Its sole and primary object the erection of q
monument ut Gettysburg Now even if this was
true we cannot see why we should not erect q
memorial to mark a historic event in these United
States. The ak CT the Northern men staying on
their side ofthe fence and the Southern their side
is getting worn out because the fence thst divided
us is getting somewhat rotten. The objection
that has been raised by the Gettysburg committee
may exclude us this year. but already we have re-
ceived q lot OF letters from the men of the ex-
IRENE North saying, wait until next year and
we will make those that objected feel ashamed Of
themselves; we will sec that your monument is
placed where it ought to go-on the spot where
Gen. Armistead fell"
But the facts of the case are, we desired to hold
the reunion at Gettysburg because we thought
that by doing SO we could draw the largest num-
Der of our old comrades together, hundreds of
them having expressed desire to revisit the his
toric field made famous by their brilliant charge
The monument was only part of the programme.
The principal object Of the reunion was and is to
form permanent association for the purpose Of
reviyinG the friendship and memories Of our army
life, aiding and assisting our comrades in distress
and to get an accurate history and record of the
various commands once forming the division. ALI
this can be done after getting the survivors once
more together, but We know this would hard
job, and unless something was presented to make
the occasion interesting, there would be lack of
attendance; therefore VIC put in the monument
feature, not contemplated at first but adopted
after receiving number of letters from comrades
saying the occasion should not merely be
drnki0g frolic but a solemn event to remember
our dead comrades by some appropriate ceremo-
MES" 1t was for our committee to be guided by
the wishes of majority Of the survivors, and
believe we have done the best we could or knew
how in carrying ont the wishes of our comrades
to establish an association.
We hope to SEQ you and other comrades present
at our general meeting on june st next.
Very truly yours,
C. T. LoEHR, Secretary P. D. A.
